Last weekend, I went on an overnight excursion with my best friend. We both needed to escape. Being perfectly honest, I had a lot of things going on in my life. Most of them beyond my control. And I was starting to feel like I might lose my mind. Two-thirds of the way to our …

There is a lot of grandiloquence and pomposity making its way across the interwebs lately. I have decided to add to it…but only with that one sentence. Frankly, I am tired. Confused. Exhausted even.
